So.... at first I was really glad this drama had 48 episodes, because I just loved everything aout it. But the turning point came at episode 22 and ongoing. It just lost quality and the story went ridiculous. Just everything happened one time and a second time and to really make sure we got it it happened a third time. I was annoyed of all the backstabbing and "I love you, but you are my enemy, so I trick you and use you!" and the reply "Whoa, now you`ve done it! I love you no more and take revenge; but wait you are no such cruel person I still love you and forgive you ervything!" There I cursed the 48 episodes and wished for the end to come sooner. I mean...I am speechless how downhill this drama, I thought would become my new all-time favourite, ended up like this... So I really like everything up to the point where Mulan (in the later episodes I titled her ("St*pid b*tch") joined the army. Before that the drama is a really great piece to see, but after that, well she just becomes superwoman and makes the impossible happen. Another important thing why I got annoyed in the second half was the makeup...really the makeup.. she dressed up as a man and I thought "mhh ok this - when I close one eye - is going to work", but the next appearance of her was with eyemakeup so stong it screamed "I am a girl!!!!" But even this I could forgive, `cause it`s a drama and they probably wanted to make the actress an eyecandy (even though she already is beautiful) BUT the next thing I see is her with not only eyemakeup but coloured lips and pretty fingernails. And then I decided it is just not believable that she is a guy. The only ray of light was Kuo Dylan as Muo Jiang / Prince Duo Lan. He really acted his role well and also the main actress Hou Meng Yao as Hua Mulan did a good job. They are not at fault for the script. So to end my review turned rant: the fist half is awesome - the second don`t bother watching. As for a rewatch: I will not because of 1. the dissapointment that I still feel and 2. the length
